Atole is a traditional hot masa based beverage of Mexican and Central American origin. Chocolate atole is known as champurrado. It is very popular during the Day of the Dead and the Christmas holiday season (Las Posadas). The drink typically includes masa (corn hominy flour), water, piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar), cinnamon, vanilla and optional chocolate or fruit. The mixture is blended and heated before serving. The resulting blends vary in texture, ranging from a porridge to a very thin liquid consistency. Atole can also be prepared with rice, flour, or oatmeal in place of masa. In New Mexico, blue corn atole is finely ground cornmeal toasted for cooking, consumed as a grainy porridge-style drink served warm, usually sweetened with sugar and thinned with milk. mexicanfood.about/od/bebidasdrinks/r/atole.htm
